0:00 Thank you, Madam Speaker. I beg leave to table a petition that has the operative clause is that says, "Whereas many people are
0:07 struggling financially in Nova Scotia and throughout Canada due to a perfect storm of unrelated difficulties, inflation, climate catastrophes, a
0:16 shortage of affordable housing, and an increase in homelessness, rising food insecurity and food bank use, increasing work precarious labor disruptions, and
0:24 artificial intelligence replacing jobs. Wealth disparities disparities are at an unprecedented level. The middle class is shrinking and poverty and homelessness
0:32 is rising. Financial insecurity leads to toxic stress, which negatively impacts people's mental and physical health and shortens their lifespans. This increases
0:41 demands on our already burdened healthcare system and other support services. Basic a basic income guarantee would ensure that everyone has an income
0:49 sufficient to meet their basic needs and live with dignity, regardless of work status. Evidence shows that a BIG would improve Nova Scotia's health, reduce
0:57 crime, improve local economies, and restore trust in government. Therefore, we the undersigned residents of the province of Nova Scotia ask that the
1:06 Nova Scotia House of Assembly immediately form an all-party committee to study and make recommendations on how to implement a basic income guarantee
1:14 that reflects the principles laid out by the Basic Income Nova Scotia Coalition, Canada Basic Income Revenue Debate, and the Basic Income Canada Network in the
1:23 province of Nova Scotia with the collaboration of the federal government. Um affixed are a number of signatures on this petition, and as per rules of the
1:31 house, I have affixed my own. >> The petition is tabled.
